Hi there!

I’m a PhD student at the School of Mathematical and Statisitical Sciennces at Clemson University. My advisor is Dr. Whitney Huang. My research interests include spatio-temporal modeling and data fusion with a focus on environmental data. In my current project we propose a conditional approach to model wind speed and wind direction.

Interests

  • Environmental science
  • Spatio-Temporal statistics
  • Data fusion

Education

  • PhD in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, 2023 (expected)

    Clemson University

  • Master's in Mathematical Sciences, 2016

    University of West Florida

  • Bachelor's in Mathematical Sciences, 2006

    Babes-Bolyai University

Current Research

Modeling of wind speed and wind direction through a conditional approach

with Dr. Whitney Huang

June 2021 – Present
  • Develop a directional wind speed distribution using Weibull distribution in such way that that the parameters of the distribution depend on wind direction.

  • Construct the dependence of the parameters of the Weibull distribution on wind direction using harmonic regression via weighted least square.

  • Analyze the changes in wind speed and wind direction from present to future climate scenarios.
